The one thing that I may have missed was a discussion of alcohol poisoning. Various additives including methanol, and other toxins were added to alcohol which resulted in deaths. There were also methods to get rid of these toxins as well.

I was reading the book, “The Poisoner’s Handbook — Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age”, (Coleen Marlo). Given the huge interest in forensic Science, I think a series of stories that document the history of forensics science could be a future project for Ken Burns.
